DETROIT, Sept. 1G.-The second game OF
the Washington series was very similar to
the first, and was devoid OF special interest.
Gilmore's support was poor, the home team
stealing bases with impunlty. Conway
was in great form, holding the visitors
down to five actual hits, no two of which
were in one inning. Score:

The First English Country Newspaper.

In 1896 appeared the first country
newspaper as the Lancotn, Rutland and
Stamford Mercury. Tho prospectus of
one Of these early country papers, the
Salisbury PoSt,nan, "or pacquet Of in
telligcncc from France, Spain, Portu-
gall" &C., Sept. 81, 1715, ran thus:
"This paper contains an abstract Of the
most material occurrences Of tho whole
week, foreign and domestic, and will
be continued every post, provided q
sufficient number Will subscribe for its
encouragement. If two hundred sub
scribe, it shall be delivered to any pub
lie or private house in town cyerS Mon
day, Thursday OF Saturday morning by
S O'Clock in winter and by 6 in summer
for I'D. each. Besides tho news, we
perform all other matters belonging to
our art and mystery, whether in Latin,
Greek, Hebrew, algebra, mathematics,
&C." BY 1882 the number of proyin-
clal papers had increased to 80. A
vivid description Of the state Of the
roads in this country in winter time
two centuries ago is given in the fol-
lowing extract from the "Colections
for 1iusbandry and Trade, March, 10.
1903; "The roads arc filed with snow.
we arc forced to ride with tho pacquct
over hedges ana bitches. This day
sovcn-night my boy with the pacouet
and two gentlemen were seven hours
riding from Dunstable to Hockey, but
three miles, barely escaping wifi their
lives, being often IN holes and forced to
be drawn ont with ropes. A man and
woman wero found dead within mile
hence, and six horses lie dead on tho
road between Hockey and Brickhiil
smothercd."

OBISAH POISONING.
a Superstition Which Fiourishes in
All ofthc West Indian Islands.

"Obcah is the dread Of nine negroes
out of every ten in tho West Indies q
said tho Trinidad gentleman, whom.
for the sake Of convenience, Shall
call Mr.. Smith. ''It is Il nuisance to
them and to the whites, but all the cf.
forts Of the various governments to
crush it out have been ,lnayailing. II
has rs many believers now as ever, not
withstanding the education of many Of
the blacks, and wherever there is any
conflict between the two races it is still
dangerous. | can not tell you tho de-
rivation Of tho word. Obeah (Which
as you must have noticed, is always
pronounced 'oby') is not an imaginary
being OF tangible thing, but simply the
name Of the wrctchcd system OF Jug
Cling and poisoning. Certain men
among the negroes set up for 'Obcah
men, and profess to be able to do mar
yclous things. [ suppose there are nyo
hundred 'Obcall mem OH this island, to
whom the other colorcd pooplc 20 for
assistance and advice. They havo to
pay for this assistance, SO the conclu-
sion is inevitable that the Obcah men
